I wear black Cintas Comfortflex work pants. They have cargo pockets on the side, very very deep pockets, and have been wearing these for a few years and absolutely LOVE them. After a few washes, they are nearly as comfortable as doctor scrub pants. Just call Cintas and talk to them. They have pairs that you can rent for very cheap, if you like them you can buy some. If you don't like them, you're only out a couple bucks. Its worth a try if you don't have any luck with other suggestions.

The ones I've bought from wal-mart that are Dickies brand have done well. They are duck material with a hammer loop and carpenters pocket.Attachment 364521

I wear these too, I get the black ones. They are tough as nails and last for about 2 years. I am a one man shop and am busy 24/7 365. I am hard on my gear especially pants. I've tried every jean made and they would barely make 5 shifts before the knees are gone. These dickies are the lightest duck material I have found. I work in a hot harsh desert environment and need the lightest heavy duty material possible and these Dickies are it. The Carthart stuff would kill me cause it's so frickin thick.

I'm due to get some more. I wore these everyday last summer even though it was about 100* degrees and I had to make repairs in attics.

I agree that they are tough pants, mine are about 1 1/2-2 years old. I used 4 pair and they got washed after every use. My last 2 have just started to get holes in the knees. I'll move them into after work duty, weekend and hunting, when I get my new ones.

They have black, dark brown(slightly different pockets, side one is for a phone), light brown, green(I wore these), tan, and blue. You can get them pretty darn cheap as well. I want to say I got mine for about $20 a pair.

+1 for Carhartt and fire hose. Being only maintenance I don't wear through them as fast, but both those seem to last. If you need thinner, the newer fire hose flex style are thinner but still durable; also pockets are real deep.
